{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 08/14/2023 }


 
Good morning everyone.  
 
I am running soooo late today.  We just had our family reunion, and the last family members left not too long ago, so I'm now rushing to get this post up.  
 
I won't chit chat as always, just going to get right on with our late Happy Homemaker Monday.  

 

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥ 
It's been awful.  So hot!  Thankfully today and tomorrow are staying below 100, but the rest of the week, we will be right back into the triple digits.    
 
Monday -  91
Tuesday - 95
Wednesday - 102
Thursday - 111
Friday - 109
Saturday - 109
Sunday - 108



♥♥  As I look outside my window ♥♥
My pool is up and running.  Everyone enjoyed it during the reunion, and it helped with the unbearable heat.  I have to tidy up a bit around the fire pit and eating area, there are some drinks that were left out there by family members.         
 
 
♥♥  Right now I am ♥♥ 
Sitting on the couch, working on this post, and trying to stay still.  I am beyond exhausted. 
 
 
♥♥  Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 
That we had a wonderful family reunion, again, but having 35 people in my house, at once, is crazy.  As much as I loved the get together, I'm also happy and relieved that it's over and done with. 


♥♥ Listening to ♥♥
The sound of the birds outside, and the sound of my dryer inside.Have a lot of laundry to do.

 
♥♥  How am I feeling ♥♥ 
Exhausted, and quite sore.  My lower back has been really hurting me the past week or so.  Even going to the store, I have to constantly stop and try to bed over a little, or use a shopping cart to stretch out my back because walking is bothering me.      
 
 
♥♥  On the breakfast plate ♥♥ 
I had 2 cups of coffee, very much needed today, and some toast.               
 
 
♥♥   On the lunch plate ♥♥ 
Leftovers from the reunion.     
 
 
♥♥  On the dinner plate ♥♥ 
Chicken Fricassee, Rice, Zucchini in tomato sauce
 
 
♥♥  What I'm wearing  ♥♥ 
Shorts and a tank top.                     

 
♥♥  On my reading pile ♥♥ 
My Bible, although I've been terrible at reading it lately.
 
 
♥♥  On my TV this week  ♥♥

♥♥  Looking around the house  ♥ 
My poor carpets need to be cleaned again.  With the amount of people we had, in and out of the house constantly, they are a mess.  
 
I did manage to get the house picked up after everyone left, but still need to dust.                   
 
 
♥♥  To Do List ♥♥ 
Laundry, housework and meal plan

 
♥♥  Devotional, verse, thoughts  ♥♥ 
“The wise of heart will receive commands” and the “one who is on the path of life follows instruction” (vv. 8, 17). If we wish to continue growing in Christlikeness, we must leave ourselves open to receive the Lord’s teachings via whatever or whomever He chooses.

  6. OOh Hope your back begins to feel better. I have twice monthly chiropractic visits for my back/neck/headache issues...it really works.

    LOVED seeing this from another person's blog so decided to participate. So fun! Now that I'm retired from teaching I have more time to read blogs and do this kind of thing.

    ENJOY the week and I hope it cools off for you wherever you are.
